The message reads:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn Friday, a combi pulled up next to me at the Borrowdale Village traffic lights that were red. He was in the right turning lane.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI suspected he would cut into my lane to go straight, so I opened my window and told him not to cut in front of me. He then took off, did exactly that, AND went thru the red light at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI followed once the light turned green and came across him picking up passengers further along.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI went behind him, took a pic and pulled up next to him and said that I would be reporting him and drove off.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI did report him to Avondale Traffic police, who then arrested him that afternoon. I was asked to make a report at Borrowdale Police Station, which I did. I saw the vehicle parked there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs there was a public holiday on the Saturday, there was no court. The vehicle has been there all weekend.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI got a call this morning asking me to appear in court tomorrow morning, which I will happily do. Let\u2019s see the outcome.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAvondale Traffic encourage anyone to do this if they can. Yes its an inconvenience for us. But if we all did one every so often, I\u2019m sure it would make an impact.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can be their eyes when these combis are breaking the law. Just the fact that he will have lost business for at least 3\u00bd days should make him think twice next time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Related:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>ZRP Warns Drivers Against Confrontations After Motorist Clashes With Officers In Viral Clip<\/p>\n<p>100 Killed In Road Accidents Between 15\u201326 December 2025<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has urged the public to report reckless or errant drivers to allow swift police action.
